SNICKERS - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / CHESAPEAKE BAY RETRIEVER (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Chesapeake Bay Retriever (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 185.00. Meet Snickers, now goes by Leo. Leo was a recent return back into the program, but don't let that fool you. He came from a loving home. After receiving an unfortunate diagnosis, his previous adopter had to make a heartbreaking decision in surrendering Leo back into OPA's care. Leo is now in a foster home after a tearful goodbye. Leo is a young, intelligent dog who is filled with curiosity. He meets everyone with a wagging tail. His previous home had young children, so he has been exposed to that environment and takes treats gently. He is also fully potty trained and knows basic commands. He even returns and drops the ball when playing fetch! Leo would do best in a home with a backyard large enough to play his favorite game, fetch. He does well with other dogs as long as the introduction is slow. His current foster home has multiple other dogs and a cat. Leo plays well with the more friendly and energetic dogs. He also knows to give space or avoid the not so friendly ones. While he is kennel trained, he does currently cry for a little bit before settling down. The environment change seemed to have given him a little bit of separation anxiety, but it is understandable given his backstory. Wouldn't anyone be anxious if their whole world was ripped out from underneath them? This boy just needs a home to love him and give him the greatest life he deserves. Will you be his new family?
